The Quest for Immortality

Leave?

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and asked, ”Can I bring others?”

He still wanted to save Elder Xun and others.

Lord Yellow Mountain said indifferently, ”I have only one karmic tie with you, I can only save one person.”

He was a deity, and the nature of deities is indifferent; life or death of others was irrelevant to him.

Moreover, in his current state, he didn’t have the strength to save anyone else.

Mo Hua shook his head, ”Then forget it.”

He must save Elder Xun and the others.

They came to save him, so he couldn’t flee for his life while letting them die.

Moreover, once this nightmare left, it might never return.

This Evil Embryo would remain deep in the Solitary Mountain, becoming a great threat, and might one day revive, turning the Solitary Mountain City into hell; it wasn’t impossible.

Furthermore, Mo Hua was unwilling.

He had worked hard to come this way, gone through a lot, even losing a lot of Divine Marrow. The Green Dragon Formation Map was not yet in hand, and he couldn’t consume the Divine Marrow. He couldn’t break through the Twenty Patterns, so returning like this would be a great loss.

If he couldn’t win, then fine, but now Lord Yellow Mountain still had his consciousness remaining. Mo Hua had a plan forming in his mind and didn’t want to give up.

Mo Hua felt a surge of anger, ”That Evil Embryo, has been beating me up for so long, this grudge must be avenged. As long as there is the slightest chance, I won’t let it go; at least I want to bite off a piece of flesh...”

Lord Yellow Mountain looked at Mo Hua and sighed lightly, ”If you don’t leave, then let it be. If you die here, don’t blame me.”

Mo Hua nodded, pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, ”Mountain Lord, I may have a way to save you.”

”You... save me?” Lord Yellow Mountain’s gaze condensed.

”Yes,” Mo Hua nodded and said, ”But you need to wait for the Evil Embryo’s power to weaken a bit more, or wait for you to get a bit stronger...”

As long as he saved Lord Yellow Mountain, then teaming up with him, there would be a chance to kill the Evil Embryo.

But Lord Yellow Mountain shook his head, ”You can’t save me...”

”How do you know without trying?”

”You...”

Before Lord Yellow Mountain finished speaking, the blood on his face began to turn fresh red again, the black blood, like tentacles, crawled towards his visage, and Evil Thoughts began to flourish.

”The Evil Embryo woke up again, you... fend for yourself.”

Then his face suddenly became hideous, a fierce glance flashing in his eyes, his right hand transformed into a Long Halberd, directly attacking Mo Hua.

Mo Hua gritted his teeth, transformed the Li Fire Sword, and once more engaged the Evil Embryo.

Afterwards, they went through another long battle; the Evil Embryo’s power weakened further, and the Mountain Lord’s consciousness gradually awakened.

Seeing this, Mo Hua immediately shouted, ”Mountain Lord, I attack from the outside, you wear it down from the inside. As long as the Evil Embryo weakens, I have a way to save you!”

Lord Yellow Mountain’s gaze slightly trembled.

Mo Hua no longer hesitated and immediately manifested the Sword of Divine Thought, moving to attack the Evil Embryo.

But this time, he attacked only to the other side of Lord Yellow Mountain, using the Sword of Divine Thought to gradually slice away at the black blood and decayed flesh parasitizing Lord Yellow Mountain. .

”Divine Thought into sword...”

Lord Yellow Mountain was somewhat surprised.

Previously his Divine Sense wasn’t awakened, he hadn’t seen it clearly; now he saw that this little child was actually a descendant of the Taixu Gate.

And at a young age, he was already learning Divine Thought into sword?

Thinking of that Taixu Gate elder who cut him down in the past, Lord Yellow Mountain felt somewhat complex.

”Mountain Lord!” Mo Hua shouted again, ”Wear it down!”

Lord Yellow Mountain came back to his senses, burying these past events and karmic grudges deep in his heart, and began to urge the power of Divine Thought, trying bit by bit to seize control of the Evil Embryo.

As a result, the Evil Embryo indeed weakened a bit.

Although the Demon Thought Armor remained just as hard, and its attacks just as terrifying, its movements slowed considerably, occasionally contradicting themselves, hands and feet out of sync.

Like a Blood and Flesh Puppet, driven by instinct, yet disturbed by Lord Yellow Mountain, it was caught in constant self-contradiction, showing many flaws.

Mo Hua’s pressure was greatly reduced; his eyes brightened, and he no longer held back, switching from defense to offense, using all the sword moves taught by Patriarch Dugu in the Back Hill Forbidden Area; all at once the Five Elements Sword Formation flowed, the Sword of Divine Thought wielded by Mo Hua was dense and impermeable.

The dense sword light sliced through the flesh of the Evil Embryo.

”Chop you to death, chop you to death...”

Revenge for a hit, Mo Hua vented all his earlier grievances from the beatings onto the Evil Embryo.

The Evil Embryo’s injuries intensified bit by bit.

Despite the individual Sword Intent causing little damage, the accumulated efforts gradually weakened the Evil Embryo’s aura.

Its Demon Armor dimmed bit by bit.

Moreover, Lord Yellow Mountain from within, disintegrated its Origin, suppressed its will.

Under the double assault, the Evil Embryo’s Evil Qi waned, golden light revived, ultimately reaching a critical juncture in the conflict between Divine and Evil thoughts.

The Evil Embryo was black and red on one side, golden on the other.

Mo Hua seized this opportunity, raising his hands high, intending to gather strength for a sword.

The surging Sword Intent began to swell.

Lord Yellow Mountain was startled.

And the Evil Embryo seemed to sense the danger too, immediately going berserk, howling frantically.

Its howl resembled the roar of the dead, filled with eeriness, growing increasingly piercing, increasingly shrill, even carrying a hint of the Evil God’s call.

Above the Divine Temple, dark clouds gathered in an instant.

In the void, the phantom of an altar appeared.

The throne of the Evil God forged of White Bone reigned above.

The Divine Authority Tree gradually unfurled, the chains of karma on the tree spreading, countless Demon Monsters and Fierce Ghosts climbed out from the void along the Karmic chains, bowing to the Evil Embryo, baring their fangs at its enemies.

They nurtured the Evil Embryo, sheltered it.

A massive malevolent thought poured back into the Evil Embryo’s body anew.
